Burned Out City Island Club Members Say They Will Rebuild

The members of City Island’s Morris Yacht and Beach Club, which burned down the other day, say they’ll resist offers from condo developers and rebuild their club instead. Sensible zoning probably would require that the waterfront be used for development that requires access to the waterfront, rather than for condos, but City Island of course is part of New York City, where the words “sensible” and “zoning” don’t often appear in the same sentence.
